CIE A-LEVEL PHYSICS PRACTICAL 2024

We provide A-Level / H2 and O-Level Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Science (Physics/Chemistry/Biology) Practical training for private / school candidates and homeschoolers, for both local (eg. H2, Singapore-Cambridge) and international exams (CIE, IGCSE). School candidates are also welcome.


CIE SYLLABUS FOR PHYSICS PRACTICAL

Paper 3 (Practical) is weighted to 23% of the total CIE AS Level assessment.

Candidates’ experimental skills will be assessed in Paper 3. The questions may be based on physics not included in the syllabus content, but candidates will be assessed on their practical skills rather than their knowledge of theory. Where appropriate, candidates will be told exactly what to do and how to do it.

Candidates are expected to have the following skills such as:

  1. Manipulation, Measurement and Observation of experiment
  2. Collection and Presentation of data and observations
  3. Proper Recording using Tables and Graphs
  4. Analysis, conclusions and evaluation of Data and Graphs

 


You can book (at least 5 days in advance) any of the following slots for your science practical training, starting Jan 2024:

A-Level (2019) JC2 Head Start General Paper (GP)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FOR ALL J2 Students, the coming holiday is a great opportunity to strengthen your knowledge on GP and get a head-start in preparation for 2019. GP is an important subject not to be neglected, especially for students who are aiming for the top few courses in University.

What is General Paper?

General Paper is probably one of the most misunderstood subjects, and ironically so because it requires the most understanding in order to do well.

Here are 5 common misconceptions General Paper (GP) debunked:

  1. My English grade was not good, therefore I will struggle at GP.

DEFINITELY NOT! GP is not about how well you write, but more about what you write. This means that your ideas and thoughts are far more important.

2. GP requires me to read a lot

Whilst this is partially true, it isn’t as hellish as most students make it out to be. Having a lot of content knowledge is pointless if you have no idea how to use it.  AAPPLICATIONof that knowledge is everything.

3. Like English, I don’t really have to study for GP. I either have it or I don’t.

False! GP is a lot about skills and techniques, which can definitely be practiced under the right supervision. Essays are not free-response, hence there are helpful structures that can be learned and applied.

4. Reading model essays will improve my GP grade.

Not as much as you may think. Many different schools idealise different types of essay styles. What this means is that there is no one best way of writing. Having said that, there are specific techniques that can be used by students to cover their weaknesses, and highlight their strengths.

5. GP is not as important a subject as compared to Maths and Science

This is the biggest misconception of them all, and most students realize this too late, by which time there is little that can be done. GP equips you with a set of soft-skills that are the most versatile and flexible, that can be used for a wide variety of professions. Any job that requires problem solving will rely on a student with strong GP skills.

So why do a Headstart programme?

General Paper is statistically the subject students struggle with the most. Not because it is difficult, but rather because students neglect it till it’s too late. By starting early, you will be able to establish a strong foundation that will allow you to begin thinking of the issues in a much more in-depth level at a much quicker rate.  Also, GP is perhaps the one subject where consistency is key, and you cannot cram your learning. So a Headstart Programme is even more crucial. So come and join me and set yourself up for success!

Hi, we tried to rush it out. This might not be the most appropriate suggested solutions. Feel free to comment and discuss. Let me know if I make mistakes. Thanks!

Also, we might not respond too fast as we will be trying to do the paper 2 for h2 math later too.

ERRATA:

4(ii) I made a silly mistake substituting the equations back in. You should get (4, 18) and (8,6) as the answers.

Many thanks to those who point out my mistakes.
